I forgot my camera... AGAIN!

I don't know where my head has been lately but it seems that I have been forgetting my camera to everything!! Maria had her "Name that Character" game today. Each of her classmates in her class had to choose a storybook character and write a riddle about their choice. They then had to dress up as their character and read their riddle out loud to an audience (made up of parents and a couple other classes) and the audience had to guess who they are. They are putting on 3 presentations, 2 today and 1 tomorrow. Maria was Little Bo Peep. I went today and I must say all the kids did great! Their costumes were wonderful and they all got up and read their riddle with very little apprehension! I think this was a wonderful idea of Mrs. Zimmerman's, Maria's teacher. It is giving the kids a taste (many of them for the first time) of how to speak in public to a group. Kind of a scary thing to people of all ages! A wonderful, fun activity for the kids to do with a great underlying purpose. Way to go Mrs. Zimmerman and Maria's class! I just wish I had remembered my camera so you all could see Maria "perform"! Take my word for it, she was terrific! And she looked pretty dang cute too if I say so myself... Thanks Dawn and Curt, my amazing neighbors, for letting us borrow your cane! You can't have a "Little Bo Peep" without a shepherd's hook!
